Swift Beef Co. installs footbaths and bidets for Muslim workers -- and they still file civil rights complaints
The Swift company has been working hard to accommodate its Muslim workers, but they are still not satisfied, and are demanding even more accommodation. They are not demanding equality of treatment -- no other religious group has special accommodation at Swift. Rather, they are demanding that they be given privileges above and beyond those granted to other employees. Previously the company has adjusted its schedule to accommodate the Ramadan fast ( http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/022746.php ), over the objections of non-Muslim workers ( http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/022587.php ). Swift also committed the grave sin of firing Muslim workers ( http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/022637.php ) who were most active in trying to strong-arm and intimidate the plant into further concessions. And that effort has not ended.
No one knows when this accommodation will stop, because no one has ever thought to ask or dared to ask Muslim groups in the U.S. just how much Sharia accommodation will satisfy them, and at what point they would be willing to begin to adapt to American society. And of course, if anyone ever did ask such a question and Muslim leaders answered in accord with the traditional canons of Islamic law, the answer would be that they will not stop demanding Sharia accommodation until the whole of Islamic law is implemented in the U.S., the Constitution overturned, and America is under Sharia government. |

The ISNA Conference
By Dave Gaubatz
American Muslims gather by the tens of thousands in our nation's capital this weekend, as our nation celebrates its birthday. They will be filling the Washington DC Convention Center for the 46th Annual ISNA National Conference. http://www.isna.net/home.aspx Muslims from all across America will be at the event to do their part in helping to celebrate the success of ISNA.
Did the leadership of ISNA randomly pick our nation's Independence Day to hold their event? Islamic scholars openly lecture to not follow man-made holidays created by the Jews and Christians such as Christmas, Easter, Independence Day, etc. In addition, ISNA informs American educators that Muslim children are not encouraged to any allegiance to America, which also includes wearing lapel pins or standing for the pledge of allegiance. |

Saudi Hate Film Draws (Private) State Department Fire
While President Obama praises the "long history" of U.S.-Saudi "friendship" and the "strategic relationship" between the two countries, some State Department officials are privately unhappy over a Saudi-produced film blaming "Zionist gangs" for the suffering of the Palestinians. The film is "The Olive Dream," a soon-to-be-released Arabic-language movie produced by Saudi filmmaker Osama Khalifa.
"The narrative of 'the catastrophe of 1948' and the resulting 'Palestinian suffering' has long served as an incubator for violence and anti-American sentiment," an anonymous State Department official wrote in a June 16 "Counterterrorism Communication Alert" obtained by IPT News. "As the US government works to push the Israeli-Palestinian peace process forward, a significant obstacle to winning Arab public opinion and achieving lasting a lasting peace is the current narrative of the conflict."
But the Saudi-produced film, which "aims to teach children about the 'Palestinian Cause' from the viewpoint of a Palestinian refugee, may serve to further cement this narrative in a new generation of young Arabs and Muslims," the State Department official warned in the memo labeled "OFFICIAL USE ONLY." |

Exclusive: Is Islam Really America’s Second Largest Religion?
Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.
“The dream of opportunity for all people has not come true for everyone in America, but its promise exists for all who come to our shores. And that includes nearly 7 million American Muslims in our country today who, by the way, enjoy incomes and educational levels that are higher than the American average.” – President Barack Hussein Obama, The University of Cairo, June, 2009
Is President Obama correct in his claim that America is now one of the world’s leading Islamic countries with a population of 7 million Muslims?
Ibrahim Hooper, president of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), believes this figure is correct. He bases this conclusion on data extrapolated from his agency’s study of mosque attendance. This data, he says, supports the President’s contention that Islam has eclipsed Judaism to become America’s second largest religion. Mr. Hooper maintains he has been an eyewitness to the changing religious landscape. “When I came to the D.C. community ten years ago,” the CAIR director says, “the mosque that I attend in Sterling, Virginia held only one Friday prayer service for a handful of people.” Now, he adds, the mosque has built a large new facility, conducts multiple Friday services, and operates several satellite locations. However, Mr. Hooper adds, “no one really knows the exact figure.” |
